for you, who thinks death is the answer, it is not, never will be

don't think anymore, about death,
it doesn't think any less of you,
the more you think of it, the more it thinks of you,
death can't bear you or me, not anybody, alive

not an angel, not an Egyptian god,
nor a Greek river-farer, not a muse,
not a hooded shadow, not aurorean lights,
no reason, no answer, only grace, only this world

only meaning, be the meaning,
to your meaning, be the existence
of my meaning, leave me some meaning
before you leave me, i'll be the meaning of you

only a question, the answer -
only love, fading into you
